Summary: WOW!!! How can this be so cheap
Review: What a great CD player!!! I initially was pretty wary of this due to the low price and a couple of the reviews here on amazon were pretty sorry, but then I read the [reviews] and was sold on the player. This is the best bang for the buck you can get in electronics these days! 1. Great Sound! Plenty loud enough. Volume from 0-25 and I listen around 10-11 on earbud headphones. Also sounds perfect in the car with a tape adapter. 2. I can't get it to skip 3. Yes it does have XBS, resume, shuffle (although even the panasonic site disagrees) 4. Cool look with slim design and very light 5. Reads mp3s Very quickly and well, Although it doesn't have ID3, it is very easy to navigate albums/tracks. If you make your mp3 CD with Musicmatch with album folders, you can skip albums by holding the track advance button for a couple of seconds. You can shuffle the whole mp3 cd or just one album 6. Remote is Perfect and you can control almost everything with it, has a clip on it too 7. Battery life is phenomenal!!! up to 48 hours with 2 alkaline and more with NiMH Overall this is the coolest CD player I have seen, especially for so [inexpensive]. I already have purchased an additional one as a gift! If you are looking for a new cd player, definitely check this one out. Pansonic's MP-70 with ID3 support and SV550 with digital tuner look cool too, but I really wanted the remote. Panasonic should make a model with remote, tuner, ID3 support ...! Until then I am loving my SX420!

Summary: delivers what's promised
Review: This is not the best player I've ever used, but it's probably the best deal I've seen for what it does. There's no problem with the MP3's I play (many bitrates high and low, some VBR). It's almost but not quite loud enough to hurt my ears, which is perfect for me but others may want more. Battery life great. I've seen better, but for anything over 10 hours I stop caring, and this gets over 50 with a pair of good NiMH's. I would find navigating the disc annoying if I didn't just leave it on shuffle. I give this a 5 not because it's the best player out there, but because the lack of major flaws make it a good deal.

Summary: Works great but...
Review: works but never gets loud enough, you can turn the volume up full blast and still barely hear it, especially in an airplane

Summary: not bad mp3 player
Review: this is a quite good mp3 player for a decent price; however you don't have id3 tags and so you have to search each title by its number.. annoying; the design of the unit is cool and I liked also the remote command; One mayor problem with the 420 is that you can't search within mp3 tracks; very very annoying; you always have to skip back or forth a whole song; this is not the case with normal cds.

Summary: Great all around CD player
Review: Panasonic really knew what they were doing when they came up with this little gadget. I have had alomst no problems whatsoever with this item. It has a few minor drawbacks but what product doesn't. Pros: Anti-skip works perfeclty, plays MP3's well when put on disk in as a music file, romote control saves buttons on player itself and it has many features to enhance your listening experience. Cons: Goes through batteries fairy quickly, especially on MP3 mode and the speakers are not super well equiped for loud listening. Overall, this MP3/CD player is a great value and probably works as well or better than others that you would be likely to pay twice as much for.

Summary: Good, can be better for the price
Review: It is good considering the price I paid for it. It can play WMAs as well. Thats the best part of the player. Chaning tracks and albums are easy. Headset is good.
The worst thing about the player is the battery consumption. Citizen CD190 uses two AA fully charged batteries for almost whole day, but this one uses it in just about 4 hours. The other thing is it has no ID3 support, so its kind of difficult to find out which track you are listening to.
Anyway, its good for its price tag.

Summary: not at all worth the price
Review: I bought this in November of last year. It worked perfectly at first, but three months after, it started skipping. I dropped it at one point, and the lid popped open and the cd went flying. I use the player on my commute on the bus to and from work, which lasts about an hour, and it ate its way through a set of AA's within two days. It also skips something terrible if held vertically, or bumped hard enough.
I had another Panasonic with a 40-second skip protection, and that lasted me four years before it finally gave out. Too bad they don't make the model anymore, or I would have purchased another instead of this terrible player.

Summary: Decent for the price
Review: Just a few comments about this unit. The volume is too low. The remote is nice but I found it to be useless. What's the point if the unit is out, you can just push the buttons on the unit? If you lock it when the unit is in a bag or something, you can't use it anyway. The manual is not detailed enough. It doesn't explain many things like how to group songs, etc. It could be user ignorance also. Ugly headphones, but who ever uses the headphones that these units come with? Battery life is pretty ok. I dropped it once and the lid came off. This was my fault, but just don't drop it! Ok, that's it. For the price, it's pretty good.

Summary: Good Player - But How can I jog?
Review: I like this player, sound is great, easy to use, i love the remote, but the thing its missing is some sort of clip to clip it to my shorts when I go jogging. Is this common? This might seem like an odd question, but I want to use it to jog...Any recommendations?!? Email me at barilko6@aol.com
